What You Did

You found a way to capture an ice cube with a piece of yarn.

Intended Results

The yarn should not have stuck to the ice by itself, but it should have stuck to the salty ice

Unintended Results

If you didn’t use enough salt, or if you didn’t wait long enough to pull on the yarn, it may not have stuck to the ice very well.

Keep Tinkering

Try using sugar instead of salt

Explored Concepts
